BETRAYAL --by Harold Pinter

Notes from the Director

Is there anything more seductive than a secret?

On one level, ‘Betrayal’ is a story of the
eternal triangle - husband, wife, lover – based on a long-term affair between Pinter and a friend’s wife. On another level, it’s about stereotypical Englishness: politeness, repression, small talk
and conversational camouflage. But, by presenting the story essentially backwards, Pinter uses the mutability of time, memory and truth to suggest that any notion of real causality in our lives may
be false. And, what would a Pinter play be without the famous pauses... gaping holes of silence that often communicate so much more than any words spoken.

Silence. Seduction. Infidelity. Repression. Truth. Lies.

Heady stuff, indeed. That is…what stuff for the head.

It has been my pleasure to work collaboratively with an enormously-talented cast and crew who have endeavored
to bring you this modern classic in a most unique way. I hope this piece of 'mind candy' both entertains you and… gives you serious pause.
